For babies
Sometimes children don’t want to play with dolls, but rather climb into a small children's playhouse and arrange your space in it. Let's give them this opportunity! Making a children's house with your own hands is also very simple. The only difference will be in size, so you'll have to look big box from under household appliances, for example, a refrigerator or washing machine.

- To have more space in the house, you can remove the top of the box and attach it in its place. L-shaped roof. Thanks to this technique, the kids will feel more spacious in the house.
- Now all that remains is to do the finishing. A children's house can be decorated with natural materials: twigs, beams, pine cones, etc. You can simply cover it with paper and paint it.
The ideal fastening for all elements would be tape or a stapler. Glue is an unreliable material: a children's house can break during play.

This is how a New Year's house for children will look in the photo.
A house made of cardboard is original and interesting, and most importantly, stylish for unusual interior.
A house made of cardboard with your own hands can play certain functions, for example, be a real home for an animal - a cat, a dog, and sometimes even other pets.
In addition, you can make a house for a baby - children love to play where they can hide, be alone with toys, and most importantly, feel like the real and only owner.
Decorative cardboard house
In order to decorate your apartment with cute houses that can imitate settlements, it is enough to stock up on the following materials:
- cardboard different colors. You can buy a pack of plain cardboard, and then simply paint it in different colors;
- paints. Even if you decide to buy colorful sheets cardboard and paints will definitely come in handy. You can take watercolors, they are found in almost every home, at least where there are children;
- scissors;
- colored paper, you can also use cardboard;
- glue.
How to make a cardboard house
The actions will be as follows:
- First, we take paper and make a box out of it for a cardboard house. It is better if the house is small, since you will need to make several of these. When cutting out a pattern for a future craft, it is better to pay Special attention on the recesses, which will be smeared with glue to fix the walls to each other;
- We remove the top of the box, which will serve as the base for the cardboard house, and install a roof in its place. It also needs to be attached to the recesses so that the product does not fall apart. If you plan to decorate the house with something else, you can make fastenings using a stapler, but glue will look better and will not allow the cardboard to delaminate and create gaps;
- You need to install a cardboard house with your own hands on a base of prepared paper. It should be dense so that it does not wrinkle quickly. Depending on how many houses you will have, you need to take a sheet of paper. You can select one large one, or you can stop at cut small ones. We glue the house to the base;
- we make all the other houses, after which we attach them to the base material. The colors of the houses should be arranged in the same way as the lamps of the garland (for example, if the first lamp is blue, and then red and yellow, we place the houses in the same way). However, it is important to remember that garlands most often contain lamps that fit too tightly together, so this rule may not be relevant;
- in each house, depending on the size of the lamps and cord, we make holes (if there is a large hole punch, this will become the best option);
- we thread the garland into each of the holes through the houses.
That's all, now you can install the houses made from cardboard in a semicircular row and plug the garland into a power outlet.
There will be a very beautiful glow inside. Of course, the number of windows and doors in such houses may vary, but it is better to make them multi-window - the glow effect will be enhanced.
Is there enough space? Of course that's enough!
And if you take, say, a box from a refrigerator, TV and microwave, the price will not be that of such a cardboard house for a child.
So, it will be possible to use the highest box to create a kind of tower, in which it will be cut out using stationery knife passage into the TV box.
The baby will be given a lot of space, and most importantly, he will feel as if he is in a whole castle. A microwave box is suitable for creating a roof. What did you think?
The top of the TV box needs to be removed and an L-shaped roof installed in its place. And the height of the “ceilings” will be higher, and there will be more space, and the view will be more original.
By the way, finishing the roof of a cardboard house can be done using natural material, what are they suitable for? But the walls can be covered with small branches - such a house will take on the appearance of a timber structure, or some kind of toy forest structure.
It is better to fasten all the elements using a large stapler, since glue does not always help in the construction of such serious structures that are actively used by children, and, as you know, children rarely remember that their “toy” can break.
Inner part It is better to either decorate the house or paste it with posters, pictures, stickers. And they will look great where doors and windows are decorated.

Operating procedure:
It so happened that one of my daughters fell ill with chickenpox, and I needed to keep them occupied with something at home. We decided to make everything together house for our dolls. They made it according to the principle: I made it out of what I had. We didn’t have a ready-made box, but we did have a fairly large piece of cardboard and many small pieces of various thicknesses and textures. I thought that our house would be a small one consisting of two rooms, but that was not the case: 2 young designers had their own thoughts about our house.
As a result, we began to do dollhouse 3 floors with 5 rooms(later the upper floor was divided into 2 parts and there were 6 rooms).
Layout
From big piece I cut out 1 piece of cardboard - this is the back wall of our house and 2 side ones (see photo 1).
Next, I bent down 2 side walls and began gluing the floor and ceiling (photo 2).
The house has dimensions: height - 74 cm, width - 50 cm, depth - 30 cm.
I covered the blank for our house with pieces of wallpaper and suitable paper (see photo 3).
The outside of the house is covered with wallpaper, the roof is strips of cardboard measuring 3 cm by 31 cm, glued overlapping.
The frames are glued together from strips of cardboard.
Our house needed a variety of puppet, which we tried to make with our own hands from scrap materials. I glued everything by eye without preliminary drawings or patterns. I simply cut a cardboard rectangle and glued the necessary pieces to it. All furniture is painted with acrylic paint and covered acrylic varnish.
Bedroom
So, room No. 1 - bedroom. There is a lot of furniture in it, and the first thing we’ll start with is this. It is quite easy to glue it together, just look at photo 4.
I covered the cardboard blank with acrylic paint, after the paint had dried, varnished it, glued a soft mattress, added a few soft pillows and a blanket.
The next pieces of furniture are a chest of drawers and a bedside table (photos 5 and 6).
The principle of their manufacture is the same - a small cardboard box to which false drawers are glued. There was also a place in the bedroom for a comfortable rocking chair (photo 7).
A large and spacious closet also found its place (photo 8).
In photo 9 the whole room is in color.
You can also watch how to make a bed for dolls (and other furniture) on the “Homemade” channel:
common room
Room number 2 - common room to watch TV. The TV in our house is flat - a large cardboard rectangle was covered with black acrylic paint, after drying, a suitable picture was glued and the whole thing was covered with acrylic varnish.
The main place in this room is occupied by a spacious one, which houses a large family of dolls.
The base of the sofa is a cardboard blank (photo 10).
The back and armrests are covered with paint and varnish, and the base is glued with padding polyester and fabric. My daughters already had a table - it was a wooden construction set, onto which we glued a piece of cardboard and painted it all together.
We see room No. 2 in photo 11.
Video on how to make a cabinet:
On the second floor of our house there is a music room and a kitchen.
Living room
IN music room there is a fireplace (photo 12).
It, unlike all our furniture, is covered with cracks. At the beginning it was covered with white acrylic paint. After it dries, a layer of craquelure medium is applied. After this layer has dried, a layer of black acrylic paint is applied. After drying, the entire product is coated with matte acrylic varnish.
Since our living room is musical, then from 6 matchboxes the piano was glued together (photo 13). It was immediately covered with colored paper, but the paper turned out to be of poor quality, and later it was painted, like all the furniture in the house. In addition, I glued 2 square beads to it - these are pedals.
The piano stool (photo 14) is glued together from cardboard, painted and decorated with a velvet cushion.
Sofa (photo 15) and armchair (photo 16). I glued them together from cardboard and decided not to cover them with fabric, but simply paint them with paint; my daughters were happy to help me with this. After applying varnish, they are very similar to leather.
The entire music room after painting the furniture (photo 17).
Kitchen
Room No. 4 is the kitchen, it is small but roomy. Kitchen set- this is a large cabinet in the shape of the letter L (photo 18).
The sink is a small plastic jam container, the faucet is made from modeling clay, and there is a small hanging cabinet:
The stove is electric with 4 burners (photo 20), its door opens.
In the kitchen we have 2 chairs (photo 21) and a table (photo 22).
Dishes were also made from small items (photo 23).
Photo 24 shows our kitchen after applying paint and varnish.
On the top floor we accommodated children's and toilet room.
Children's room
IN children's The main place is occupied by a bunk bed (photo 25).
She has soft mattresses and pillows. In the room there is a small table (photo 26) and a chair (photo 27).
There is also a cabinet for toys (photo 28).
In this room I did not cut a window, but simply glued a cardboard one to the side wall. The room is decorated with a colorful alphabet (cut from paper packaging from a children's toy). Photo 29 shows a children's room in color.
Almost all the chandeliers in our house are glued together from disposable containers, beads, cockerel sticks and braid.
Only one, which is in the music room, is made of beads, wire and bead fittings.
I also glued a ladder to the house, but we have it attached for now, because I am afraid that if it is glued, it will interfere with two children playing at the same time.
Bathroom and toilet
For toilet room we needed a toilet, sink and bathtub. They needed to be made quickly and easily.
And I decided to just sculpt them from modeling material. Which is what we subsequently did with our daughters (photo 30).
They may not be ideal, but they were made together.
Our works took about a day to dry. Next, we painted them with white acrylic paint and coated them with glossy acrylic varnish. After drying, the tank turned out to be quite heavy, then I replaced it with a lighter one (cut it out of cork and painted it). To keep the sink stable on the wall, I glued a nightstand underneath it. The bedside table was painted like all the furniture in the house. Next, I glued the bedside table to the wall and floor of the house, and then glued the sink. A tap (made from modeling clay) and beads are glued to the sink. There was no ready-made mirror, and ours is also made of cardboard.
The toilet is made of several parts - the base, cockerel sticks, a tank (made of cork), chains and beads.
This entire structure is complemented by a seat - cut out of cardboard and covered with plain fabric.
In photo 32 the entire toilet room is in color.
So quickly and cheerfully, together with our daughters, we built from scrap materials our dollhouse. Such crafts always bring joy to children.
It may be quite simple for now, but my daughters are quite happy with it and enjoy playing together.
